Can't possibly recommend them enough! Just spend some time thinking about what features you want and need.
There's everything from "Basically a slow moped that can technically be pedaled" to "literally a normal bicycle with a motor slapped onto it", with price ranges to match.

I'd generally say that unless you have money to spare and/or intend to rely on the e-bike as much as people rely on cars, the expensive stuff isn't really worth it. Fancy features like mid-drive and force-sensitive pedal assist are nice but i've done completely and utterly fine with a dead simple e-bike that cost like 1000€. There'll be a bit of a learning curve as you get used to to the quirks of having the motor engage when you pedal but after a while it becomes second nature.

If you get a cheap basic e-bike like me, i'd recommend taking advantage of it to get exercise: Having both fully functional pedals and motor assist means you don't have to worry about running out of stamina and having to trudge home in misery. Which means you're free to push yourself as far as you feel like, and thus you can improve your stamina and leg strength really quite quickly.
Having that physicality means the e-bike becomes even more useful, you become able to use less motor assist which extends your range, and range anxiety goes from "oh man if the battery runs out i'll be stuck!" to "if the battery runs out i'll be quite annoyed, oh well".

Yeah. I think the big thing is that music isn't generally a shared thing these days, it's something you listen to yourself and maybe share with friends and family in some situations (e.g. car trip) and even then your personal tastes have to align enough for that to be bearable.

Whereas back in the day my dad has stories of like, meeting up with his extended friend group to all listen to the new Black Sabbath album.

for small devices half the appeal is that you don't need a big fucking rectangle taking up space on the device.

Personally i think a GOOD trackpoint (one that isn't miserably stiff, and is well-calibrated) plus a touchscreen is perfection for something like a laptop. The trackpoint lets you do most things without taking your hands off the keyboard, and the touchscreen is a touchpad but.. Borderline objectively superior in every way.
Like.. There's a reason phones have touchscreens, the idea of using a phone with a touchpad is insane.

does this have to be run on a Cox-Zucker machine? Or is a regular x84 device okay?

oh god i'm infected, oh god oh god oh no i can feel the transformation starting, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Not to excuse them, but they do have an absolutely fucking absurd population and population density, so it should be noted that they're doing hilariously better than much of the world, proportionately.

I'd say they're a lot like japan: Very good in some ways, still quite amazingly shitty in other ways, and they've ended up like that because they're fairly non-corrupt (at least on a local level, in the case of china) and actually prioritize genuine economic growth (as in: having industry) rather than making people happy or jerking off the friends of politicians.

This but in reverse with The Amazing Atheist: last i checked he'd come out as bi, hates that he spawned a lot of shitty stuff, and seems generally fine though a bit abrasive.
